“Best trip of our lives…no exaggeration! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Doreen and Vitis House to Spain – what an immense treat!! We were treated like VIPs with curated, insider-only access that made the entire experience very rich and memorable. Not a bad thing to say other than it went by way too fast so we just have to book another trip with Vitis House again!“
“How does one capture the beauty of a week in Spain with Doreen? I’ve traveled Spain and toured vineyards extensively; however, Vitis House and Doreen elevated the experience into memories that cannot be made independently. We savored Spain’s wine, food, history, and culture. We learned and laughed. My heart will forever be full of the memories. It is a truly unique experience. We are excited about future trips with Vitis House!”
“If Michelin handed out stars for trips, this adventure that Doreen put together in the Txakoli and Rioja regions would definitely make the cut. We recently returned from a week-long journey through Spain with Doreen and three other couples, where we explored local wines, tapas, and gourmet meals in some of the most beautiful locations. We felt like VIPs everywhere we went and had a fantastic time. I highly recommend Vitis House’s classes and small group travel. Txin Txin!”
